Stir-fries are a great way to clean out the fridge, we like to toss in whatever we have on hand. This dish is high in protein and carbs, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and super quick and easy. I like to carbo-load with dishes like this – vegetables are naturally high in carbohydrates and brown rice is a no-brainer. How do you carbo-load? […]

Beans are an incredibly rich source of protein, iron, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber; they are a staple in a plant-based diet. Swiss chard is one of the earth’s healthiest foods, high in vitamins A, K, and C, and rich in minerals, iron, dietary fiber, and protein. The addition of Swiss chard to this chili makes it a nutritional power house. Besides being incredibly […]

Fall fruits are always amazing, and this dessert brings the best of the fall fruits together in such a beautiful way. I prefer sweet apples over tart, and the Fuji has long been my favorite. I eat Fuji apples every day when they are in season, so I thought I’d try them baked in a cobbler or crisp and see how they held […]

I am a huge fan of pancakes and this is my new favorite. Whole grains and pumpkin come together beautifully and when you add pure maple syrup you just can’t go wrong. This is also an easy recipe to make gluten-free – just double the oat flour and omit the whole wheat flour. I love these pancakes after a long run or ride […]

One of the things I love about the weather getting colder is getting to make hot and hearty soups and stews. I like to make a large pot of this satisfying lentil soup and keep it around for a couple of days (if it lasts that long!) It seems to taste even better the next day! Serve as a first course in small […]

I like burritos for breakfast, and this is a super simple recipe with pretty outstanding results. The key is to use a good vegan “chorizo” like Soyrizo or Field Roast Mexican Chipotle Sausage. The rest is easy. Serve with some fresh avocado and salsa and you’ll have a tasty breakfast ready in no time. 1 Tbsp Olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped 1 red […]

I made a variation of this pizza for my wife on one of our first dates and apparently I made quite an impression! It’s hard to resist roasted garlic, caramelized onions, and fresh figs. If figs are not in season, dried black mission figs work great too. The balsamic glaze is optional but it does add a tangy depth to the flavor of […]

This is a great fall recipe and it’s incredibly simple. Grab a colorful variety of your favorite root vegetables: carrots, beets, potatoes, squash, parsnips, or whatever sounds good to you, chop them up into bite-size pieces, toss them with some oil and seasonings, and roast away! Packed with good carbs and vitamins, you can serve this as a side dish or a main […]

When I first made the switch from vegetarian to vegan I got a little freaked out about not being able to eat ice cream any more. I set out to make the best vegan ice cream in the world, and I feel like I succeeded. This is basically that same recipe, with raw cacao powder and maca powder added to make this the […]
